"Monga mtsogoleri wamakampani okhazikika, timanyadira kuti ndife ndege yoyamba padziko lonse lapansi kuti tikwaniritse malo ovomerezeka a Zero Net Energy," adatero San Francisco International Airport Director Ivar C. Satero. "Izi zikuyimira gawo lalikulu pantchito zathu zachilengedwe, ndipo ndife olemekezeka kuzindikiridwa ndi Airports Council International - North America chifukwa cha izi."

Bwalo la ndege la San Francisco International Airport (SFO) lalemekezedwa monga malo oyamba padziko lonse a Zero Net Energy (ZNE) pabwalo la ndege. Airports Council International - North America (ACI-NA), yomwe ikuyimira mabungwe olamulira omwe ali ndi ma eyapoti amalonda ku United States ndi Canada, adazindikira SFO ndi Mphotho yake ya Environmental Achievement Award pamsonkhano wa Airports @ Work ku Salt Lake City, Utah. SFO idalandira mphothoyo mu Gulu la Environmental Management for Airfield Operations Facility, yomwe posachedwapa idatsimikiziridwa ngati malo a Zero Net Energy ndi International Living Future Institute (ILFI).

Imamalizidwa mu 2015, SFO's Airfield Operations Facility ndi malo oyamba pa eyapoti padziko lonse lapansi kugwiritsa ntchito zero net energy. Chaka chathachi, malowa adapanga magetsi ochulukirapo kuposa momwe amathera, chifukwa cha denga ladzuwa lomwe limapanga mphamvu zokwana 136 kilowatts. Zotsatira zake, Airfield Operations Facility inalidi yopangira magetsi, kutumiza mphamvu zosafunikira mu gridi. Imayatsa magetsi opanda kaboni 100% ndipo imagwiritsa ntchito mafuta amtundu wa zero poyendetsa nyumbayo. Maofesi amtsogolo a SFO adapangidwa kuti akwaniritse zomwe akufuna kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zamagetsi, komanso kuphatikiza sola pomwe zingatheke, kupititsa patsogolo cholinga cha sukulu ya Zero Net Energy.

Mu 2017, SFO idakhazikitsa cholinga chofuna kukwaniritsa zinyalala zomwe zimatayira, kusalowerera ndale kwa kaboni, ndi Zero Net Energy pabwalo lonse la eyapoti. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, SFO yachepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito magetsi ndi maola opitilira 4 miliyoni a kilowatt, kupulumutsa mphamvu zokwanira nyumba 600, ndikuwonjezera mphamvu yadzuwa yopitilira 1 megawati pabwalo la ndege.

Iyi ndi mphoto yachitatu ya ACI-NA yomwe SFO yalandira chifukwa cha utsogoleri wake wa chilengedwe, komanso mphoto yake yachiwiri m'gulu la kayendetsedwe ka chilengedwe. Mu 2013 ACI-NA inazindikira SFO chifukwa cha Climate Action Plan yake, yomwe ikufotokoza zoyesayesa zosiyanasiyana zochepetsera kutulutsa mpweya woipa wokhudzana ndi kayendetsedwe ka ndege. Chaka chotsatira, ACI-NA inalemekeza SFO chifukwa cha Ndondomeko Yake Yotsitsimula, yomwe imatsimikizira kutetezedwa kwa zamoyo ziwiri zomwe zatsala pang'ono kutha pa malo okwana maekala 180 osakonzedwa pa Airport. Mu 2016, SFO idapatsidwa Level 3 Airport Carbon Accreditation ndi ACI-NA, panthawiyo idakhala eyapoti yoyamba ku California ndipo yachiwiri yokha ku North America yovomerezeka pamlingo uwu.

Kuti mumve zambiri pazoyeserera zachilengedwe ku SFO, Dinani apa.

ZOMWE MUNGACHITE PA NKHANIYI:

In 2016, SFO was awarded Level 3 Airport Carbon Accreditation by ACI-NA, at the time becoming the first airport in California and only the second in North America certified at this level.
“As an industry leader in sustainability, we are proud to be the first airport in the world to achieve a certified Zero Net Energy facility,” said San Francisco International Airport Director Ivar C.
SFO received the award in the Environmental Management Category for its Airfield Operations Facility, which was recently certified as a Zero Net Energy facility by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI).
